Summary of Alex S. Vitale's The End of Policing
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 There is no question that American police use their weapons more than police in any other developed democracy. However, we don't have fully accurate information about the number or nature of homicides at the hands of police.
#2 Over-policing can lead to excessive force being used, which is just the tip of the iceberg of over-policing. There are currently more than 2 million Americans in prison or jail, and another 4 million on probation or parole.
#3 The training of police officers to use force in making arrests ignores the officers' casual disregard for Garner's well-being, as well as the fact that his cries of I can't breathe were ignored by the officers.
#4 Wilson and others believed that the root of the problem was the lack of external controls to regulate inherently destructive human urges, and that the solution was to restore order through punitive social control mechanisms.
